WBC is a public broadcaster which operates within the RTGame Survival Server. Originally made to be a parody of the BBC, WBC started in New Earth. Due to build server drama, AbruptFern took over WBC and rebranded itself to focus on survival server. The public could pitch and complain about the programs in their discord. Discord Link
WBC is funded by the public from donations. The donation system of WBC operates within the mall world, which has not been setup yet in 1.16. WBC formerly ran on the archive website before it was shut down, now focuses on YouTube as their platform of choice. YouTube Link
History
Founded on the first build stream, the concept of WBC was a desire to replicate some of BBC's best buildings. The idea of making a BBC Television Centre in West London area was due to it's architecture, not to parody the BBC. Epicnohamdeluxe took the idea further and alongside Callsign_sndwhich, they created the WBC Television Centre in Western Europe. AbruptFern joined afterwards, creating the role Head of Studios and Post Production (a play on BBC Studioworks). During Russia, WBC continued to build more concrete buildings and caused some issues along the way.
AbruptFern's Channel Three, which was created to compete against WBC even though working for them as well, merged with WBC and AbruptFern took over as Director General. AbruptFern took WBC out of build server, onto survival server to rebuild the brand reputation. WBC was first on recording the RT United Nations's second meeting. Establishing the brand as a trustworthy and part of the survival experience. There were plans to build a studio center in Ravenholm/Dynawing, but due to the arrival of Stress Test it was never completed.
The start of the Stress Test didn't have WBC envolved until Pocketoe started to created minigames with PVP. Four games were recorded, but two only made it out of post production. WBC continued to follow Pocketoe for trivia gameshows, but not many were finished in post production. WBC was also split into two subsidiaries, WBC Productions and WBC Resources. WBC Productions handled the production work and helping approve series to be made. WBC Resources was made to help rent out studios and production resources. Around the end of the Stress Test, the RT United Nations occupied the WBC Fortree Centre for the fourth meeting before the 1.16 server was open to the public.
